Toronto Primary fields yet another worthy candidate for the annual ISPA SuperTeacher of the Year competition with Mabore Lekalakala, an educator at the school who is a maths and computer literacy teacher.

The outstanding project that saw Mabore being selected as one of ten finalists for the award is entitled “Creation of Digital Materials for Interactive Mathematics Learning”. According to her, the rationale for selecting this particular topic for her project was to implement an ICT intervention that she hoped would result in “an improvement in learners’ performance in mathematics.”

In pursuit of this end, Mabore specifically developed digital materials using new technologies such as Office Mix, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Sway. “I wanted to liven up my classroom, while engaging learners with content in order to develop 21st century skills in the classroom,” she explained. She added that learners’ performance in mathematics is becoming weaker every year. “The problem is the curriculum is pre-digital and offered by pre-digital educators to digital-era learners.”

Besides being a runner-up in the 2013 ISPA SuperTeacher of the Year Awards, Mabore is also a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert 2015. On what motivates her, she explains, “Self-motivation is what drives me, hence I see teaching as an open entity. I see myself and learners as people on a journey together.”

Good luck to all our finalists! We wish you all the best for the awards ceremony tomorrow night.
